Okay, so if Jay was a girl this is what he would look like! Elizabeth looks more and more like her daddy every day! Thats not a bad thing! The other day Nina (my mother in law) said 'Lori, I think she has your feet...." ah.... no, she has her daddys feet also! Maybe, just maybe she has my eyes, and as her hair lightens up maybe she will be a blonde of some type.
She has done great since she got out of the hospital 2 weeks ago. As I look back on the week before she went in, I can see that she was not feeling well. It's a total learning process all the way around! She is so much more alive, cooing and trying to talk when she is awake! Her
neck control is getting so good and she attempts to stand when you hold her up! It's amazing!
She goes to bed at about 11 PM and only wakes up once during the night to eat and that's only for about 7-10 minutes and then she is right back to sleep.
Jay and I are still trying to adjust to not being able to pick up and go at a moments notice. I am still trying to figure out how all of you with KIDS do it! I feel like I am packing to
go on a camping trip everytime that we leave! I guess this will get easier. She has still
not gone out to what I call "General Population." Once she gets her immunizations- which is in about 10 days we will be traveling bugs! She has not yet been to church, and everyone is so anxious to see our precious girl! I am ready to be able to show her off.... because she is just so
cute! Guess that's what all mommies think!
I went to my last ob/gyn appt on Wednesday and was cleared! I have lost all of the weight that I gained and then some! I now understand what they mean about breast feeding! Man, the weight just fell off! I am now also able to get back to my running... which I have really been missing! Jay and I walk the Seawall about 4 days a week but some running will be nice.
For all of you that moved away from Galveston I want to tell you that the weather has been
AWESOME! Not too hot, a nice breeze and the water is beautiful! I miss all of you that moved away... especially those that took off to start life in the country.... ( and to be a PTA mother!)
Well, its time to find some lunch for me before I am needed to be lunch for her!
I love you all!

OH MY GOSH!!!!! She is so cute!! I miss my Elizabeth time... I will call you next week and come by!!!! I miss my LORI time too!!!!!! Love you!
You're right, she looks just like Jay.
BTW, that packing thing gets easier with time. I always packed liked I was going on a 2 week vacation. I've got a whole book full of what I did wrong baby stories, and they all end with "How come they don't come with manuals? Everything else does!"
I think you pack pretty darn quickly when y'all are headed out. and I've always love the curls! That is adorable with her laying at Jay's neck.
Maybe you should have done the contest since you are back to where you belong. Someone could have beat Jay...which I hear is the goal! Hummm...maybe all the women in the office should breast feed.
